About Guerlain Vol De Nuit EDT
Vol De Nuit EDT comes from Guerlain. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Its style
The strongest accord is powdery (100%), followed by iris and green. You will probably like it if you enjoy powdery and iris smells and notes like iris and oakmoss. Less obvious notes include bergamot, aldehydes and sandalwood. Perfume fans rate it 4.03 out of 5.
Vol De Nuit: day or night?
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its green side keeps it clean and easy.
How long Vol De Nuit stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Nino Cerruti 1881 and Ulric De Varens Varensia last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like oakmoss and orris root are the part that stays longest on the skin.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Nino Cerruti 1881 and Ulric De Varens Varensia spread further.
Which weather suits it
It is at its best in spring. It is less suited to winter. From best to least suited, the seasons are spring, fall, summer and winter.
